Cooking Mama 3 comes with six gameplay modes for the Nintendo DS that add to the series that has already gained popularity worldwide. Did you think all you had to do was pick up the stylus and do a little chopping and dicing? You'll need to go to the store to get the ingredients for the 80 new recipes or take the blinders off and combine ingredients to create your own dish of delight. Or dreck if you have no idea what you're doing. Keeping a picture diary of your accomplishments might not be such a good idea after all...
You can play against up to three friends who also have the game using the WiFi for your Nintendo DS - they won't be close enough to look over their shoulder and you'll be too busy trying to finish first in the timed cooking challenges in Cooking Mama 3.
But at the end of the day it's just you and Mama doing the cooking together. Until she gives you a shove and has you set off to do it on your own. Worse yet - your hard to satisfy friends will be rating how well those meals are. Which means they better taste good. Don't get rattled because messing up the cooking will guarantee that the only applause you'll be getting is when you've said you're quitting the kitchen.
